Would this http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25860748/ help at all? It was something I was asked to do and did a little while ago. It was well received (on deviantart), but I think it could have been better. I actually also did a fully nude version that I thought turned out a little better, but the response to it on deviantart was practically nothing, so I subsequently deleted it (just from there). I've recently also been requested to do a backlit (and draped) version, that I hope to work on within the next couple of weeks. No doubt Rebecca's mentioned references will be infinitely better, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. It's pretty "real" if nothing else (lol).

what a wonderful pose, Ben!

I wouldn't even restrict this to crucifixion, actually. Transports a very dignified and humble mindset, in general.

Thanks Rebecca and Mr. Mu, I appreciate the kind words! Hopefully the image will be useful for something. I don't believe the original requestor has made use of it, although there has been one quick sketch by another artist.

Rebecca- Thanks for all the artists. I love Renaissance art and didn't have that many artists to choose from. I've googled til my eyes hurt but didn't come up with a whole lot that was usable. I'm planning on posting the pic as my first WIP(maybe this afternoon), so be ready to spam yet another thread! :scream:

justmeina- That's a great starting pic for me! Thanks. I have been going through my copy of the Passion trying to find shots that would help but it's not that easy....:) Thanks again!

Thanks MarD, I do hope it helps. If I can attempt any other shots that might help you, please let me know. I often don't quite get what I'd like (to say nothing of what somebody else might like, :twisted: ), but I'm quite willing to try.
